384: A good start and a big victory after the comeback!

Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Flores was unhappy, but he also had a plan.

After all, Crystal Palace is a strong team.

They are a relegation team, and there is still a big gap in strength between the two. Such a backward situation was something Flores could have imagined before the game.

However, this is not acceptable!

In the first half of the game, Watford actually had a chance.

More importantly, Crystal Palace has not exerted its strength yet.

Crystal Palace only found Ignacio at the beginning of the game after passing the ball a few times, but did not use Ignacio's point to attack.

This shows that their Watford midfield defense made a major mistake.

You allow Crystal Palace to easily create opportunities in the middle. Why do they frequently take advantage of Ignacio's high ball?

Therefore, in the final analysis, it was caused by the failure of the counterattack and the loopholes in the defense.

Flores was helpless.

However, he did not lose confidence.

This is what it is like to lead a relegation team. You must always remain optimistic. You cannot be beaten to death after just one game or a game.

To put it mildly, the relegation team is trying to be an invincible little power.

No matter how many times you hammer me, I will still stay positive and optimistic next time and maintain my momentum.

Otherwise, they would have been defeated long ago and the subsequent games would be meaningless.

Therefore, Flores's mentality is still very calm.

Of course, he didn't think they had any chance in this game.

As the game continues in the second half, there will always be opportunities.

Moreover, Crystal Palace's defense looks monolithic, but there is still a chance.

In the first half of the game, their forwards just failed to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, the game would not have been played like this.

During the halftime break, Flores decompressed his players and asked them to put aside their mental burdens, stop thinking about the score, devote themselves to the game, and strive to play good defense in the second half of the game. Fight back.

However, when Flores didn't expect it, this guy Tong Yi gave him a stick!

After the second half of the game started, Crystal Palace actually retreated!

Yes, Crystal Palace did not continue their high-position and high-intensity pressing tactics. Tong Yi pulled the Crystal Palace players back and set up a bus in front of their penalty area.

Tong Yi is going to start playing defensive counterattack!

hiss!

When he saw this, Flores took a deep breath, his forehead was swollen, and he almost fainted!

Is this going to take my path and leave me with nowhere to go?

This guy Tong Yi is too bad.

Flores understands very well that this guy Tong Yi is doing this to make him give up his best defensive counterattack tactics, and then attack, press the ground from all fronts, and attack hard!

To be honest, they should do this when they are two goals behind.

.

However, Flores is a little worried. He is worried that after Watford attacks from all fronts, there will be a huge gap in the back line. Flores knows very well that Crystal Palace's Salah and Mane are very, very suitable for counterattacks. And in the midfield, Crystal Palace also has midfielders like De Bruyne and Milinkovic who can make exquisite passes, so Crystal Palace's counterattack will be sharper.

As long as Watford attacks from all fronts, the gaps exposed in the defense will definitely be caught by the Crystal Palace people.

This guy Tong Yi is so cunning.

This guy Tong Yi pulled back his line for defense. It was obviously to lure the Watford people out and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Otherwise, why would Tong Yi replace Casemiro, who is more defensive, with Milinkovic, who is more offensive?

Damn it!

Flores immediately turned his head and glared at Tong Yi fiercely, anger rising in his heart!

This damn Chinese is really too cunning.

Obviously, this guy Tong Yi also knew that he could see his plan, but he still did it. Obviously this is a conspiracy, just waiting for you to fall into the trap.

That hatred in Flores’ heart!

The Watford players on the court were also a little confused and did not expect the changes in Crystal Palace.

The Watford players turned to look at Flores on the sidelines, seemingly asking what to do now? Should we continue to defend and counterattack, or should we attack?

If they continue to defend and counterattack, what if Crystal Palace doesn't press out?

Could it be that in the second half of this game, both teams did not attack and played tacitly?

Watford tried it, but Crystal Palace really had no intention of attacking at all, just setting up a bus.

Nearly 10 minutes have passed. The Crystal Palace really can't attack.

If this continues, Watford will accept the result of failure.

Flores had no choice but to see that the cunning Tong Yi had made up his mind not to attack. If he doesn't make changes on his side, the second half of the game will really end calmly with such a tacit understanding.

This is something neither Flores nor Watford fans can accept.

So, Flores had to make adjustments!

If Watford doesn't want to accept the reality of losing, they must attack.

Flores turned his head and glared at Tong Yi fiercely, then waved his hand to signal the Waterford people to attack.

The Waterford people did not test any more at this time, and immediately launched an attack across the board.

Because the time left for them is not particularly sufficient, if they try again and score again, it will really be too late. Therefore, Watford stormed out as soon as the tactics changed.

Seeing this, Vieri, Beckham and others all had smiles on their faces.

Sure enough, his boss's plan was not wrong at all.

Flores must be in a very bad mood at this time, right?

However, when Watford just changed their tactics and attacked across the board, they still threatened the Crystal Palace goal.

Even their first attack after changing tactics almost broke the Crystal Palace goal.

This shocked everyone in the Crystal Palace.

Watford midfielder Jurado suddenly passed a penetrating through ball, which actually beat Laporte's defense and allowed Ighalo to penetrate in. It was very dangerous. . .??.

Ighalo faced the attacking Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alisson. He pushed and tried to pass through.

The football rolled quickly, surprising Alisson who was attacking. He immediately closed his legs, but he was still half a beat too slow. The football literally passed under his crotch and rolled towards the goal.

Fortunately, Alisson reacted quickly and closed his legs very promptly. Although his legs did not intercept the football, his right leg still touched the football. The football immediately changed direction and quickly moved diagonally from the ball. The door slid past, brushing the far end of the pillar and rolling out of the bottom line!

hiss!

It’s really, really dangerous!

The Crystal Palace fans were almost pissed.

Flores on the sidelines jumped up in regret, and then stomped his feet hard.

What a pity this ball is!

If this goal had been scored, the situation would be completely different!

What a pity, what a pity!

However, this goal also gave Flores and Watford people hope. Crystal Palace's defense is not monolithic, and they have many opportunities to break the Crystal Palace goal.

Flores and the Watford players are on top!

Flores immediately waved his hand to signal the Watford players to increase their offensive intensity, and the Watford players swarmed forward and invested more in the offense.

Before they knew it, their center backs were all over half the ball.

During this period, the Watford people were also playing well, making Watford fans feel that they really had a chance to score, and they invested more in offense.

In fact, Flores himself was aware of it and saw the space in the backcourt.

But at this time, he had no way to make the Watford players pay attention to defense. At this time, Watford's players cannot be distracted by defending. At this time, they must complete the battle, put all their attention on the offense, and take advantage of their current momentum to fight hard. One wave, try to score a goal immediately!

If we score a goal, the game will be good.

To be honest, Flores knew he was taking a gamble now.

But as a relegation team, sometimes this kind of gamble is needed.

Ingredients, only then will miracles happen.

Although miracles don't happen most of the time, what if they happen once?

Then they make money!

And Flores and the relegation team are fighting just in case this happens!

Now is your chance!

Flores clenched his fists, stared at the ball excitedly, and roared in his heart, "Come on, boys!"

At this moment, the ball was stolen!

The Crystal Palace team stole the ball in the midfield, and it was Milinkovic who suddenly saved the ball!

Seeing this, Flores closed his eyes and felt a little desperate. This ball was a bit too high for Watson. How could the ball be passed like this? Unfortunately, it is too late to hold people accountable.

Milinkovic stole the ball and passed the ball forward.

Salah in the frontcourt quickly started running and rushed through the half-court, and also passed through Watford's defense, and directly got a big one-on-one opportunity!

Watford's defensive players reacted and quickly turned around to catch up.

However, their speed could not catch up with Salah at all, they could only chase farther and farther!

despair!

Seeing this, Flores was desperate!

However, he still pinned his hopes on their goalkeeper Gomez. Gomez is Brazil's national goalkeeper. He is a veteran and has experience. There is no way he can create miracles!

Then, the experienced veteran was directly penetrated by Salah and scored.

Ighalo's unfinished goal, Salah completed it!

Three to zero!

As the ball entered the net, Flores's last hope was eliminated. He knew that Watford was finished in this game and had no chance. But he still stood up and came to the sidelines to encourage his players and let them continue attacking.

Now we really just have to wait for the miracle to happen!

Tong Yi glanced at Flores and shook his head slightly. Watford had no chance in this game.

In the 33rd minute of the second half, whoever attacked once again seized the opportunity to counterattack. Asensio, who came on as a substitute, received an assist from Mane and easily pushed the shot into the empty goal, changing the score to 4-0.

This wasn't Crystal Palace's last goal.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. De Bruyne curled the ball directly into Watford's goal.

De Bruyne scored twice to expand the score.

In the 44th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace got a corner kick. Carvajal made a curved pass and passed the football in. Under the cover of Ignacio, Van Dijk jumped high from the back and smashed the football into the Watford goal.

Six to zero, Tong Yi led the team to defeat Watford six to zero.

Tong Yi just came back and led the team to victory. What a good start!
